Is there a possible way how to store certificates into one file?
I read about possibilities to have multiple certs in one .pem file, but 
I'm not cert guru :)

I personally vote for serial number in case there are multiple 
certificates, if ^ is no possible.


1)
+            if len(certs) > 0:

please use only,
if certs:

2)
You need to re-generate API/ACI.txt in this patch

3)
syntax error:
+        for dercert in certs_der


4)
command
ipa user-mod ca_user --certificate=<ceritifcate>

removes the current certificate from the LDAP, by design.
Should be the old certificate(s) revoked? You removed that part in the code.

only the --addattr='usercertificate=<cert>' appends new value there
